==== Making data fields optional ====
A row with a label but no data is not displayed. This allows for the easy creation of optional infobox content rows. To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults to an empty string, like so:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;">
 | label5 = Population
 |  data5 = {{{population|}}}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{clear}}

This way if an article doesn't define the population parameter in its infobox the row won't be displayed.

For more complex fields with pre-formatted contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't set, you can wrap it all in an "#if" statement to make the whole thing vanish when the parameter is not used. For instance, the "#if" statement in the following example reads "#if:the parameter ''mass'' has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'":

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;">
 | label6 = Mass
 |  data6 = {{ #if: {{{mass|}}} | {{{mass}}} kg }}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{clear}}
